For the Complexion.
The complexion always suffers from
biliousness or constipation. Unless
the bowels are kept open the impu
rities from the body appear in the
form of unsightly eruptions. De-
Witt’s Little Early Risers keep the
liver and bowels in healthy condition
and remove the cause of such troub
les. 0. E. Hooper of Albany, Ga.,
says; “I took DeWitt’s Little Early
Risers for biliousness. They were just
what I needed. I am feeling better
now than in years.” Never gripe or
distress. Safe, thorough and gentle.

'
Savannah Nows.
The marked increase in the popu
lation of lower Georgia during the
last ten years, as shown by the cen
sus, is one of the most encouraging over the,Central railroad the other
day, breaking the record for fast
running on that line since the days
of Nancy Hanks.
The special flashed like a meteor
through the yards here, the estima
ted speed as it passed this depot
being sixty miles an hour.
The train stopped only at Macon
and Smithville on the run of 207
miles from Atlanta to Albany.
An engine and one Pullman car
made up the train, and aboard the
Pullman was an anxious father has
tening as fast a3 steam could take
him to the bedside of his two chil
dren in Florida. They were said to
be dying.
He left St. Louis at 6:40 o’clock
Friday night, and at the same hour
Saturday night reached Jacksonville.
The distance of 1,000 or 1,200
miles was covered in 21 hours.
From Atlanta to Macon, 103
miles, the time was 108 minuteB.
Five minutes were lost in ohanging
engines, and then the ‘•‘special” fair
ly flew toward Albany, just 106
miles further south.
The “special” flashed by Americus
at 2:40 p. m„ just one hour after the
Central fast vestibule left, yet it
overhauled and passed the vestibule
before it reached Albany, 36 miles
distant. It was a record-breaking
run.
This lightning “special” cost the
St. Louis father the round sum of
$1,775. .

Americns Times.
A special “flyer” carrying a St.
Louis millionaire from that oity to
Jacksonville sped through Americus
signs of the times. It shows that
there is a stream of new comers
pouring into this favored section
where balmy weather characterizes
all of the seasons and where Mother
Earth yields her plenty with the
least human labor. The flow having
set this way strongly, there is reason
for thinking it will oontinue indefi
nitely, to the great advantage of all
concerned.
The railroads, turpentine farms
and saw-mills have been the pion
eers which opened up the rich lands
for agricultural purposes, and wealth
producing orops of cotton, corn, su
gar cane, rice, fruits and so on in
almost endless variety now reward
the tillers of the acres that a few
years ago were covered with forest
growths. Farms and fruit orchards
on. what were formerly “pine bar
rens” and low lands in lower Geor
gia are now making their intelligent
and thrifty husbandmen independ
ent. Should the new-comers follow
the example of those settlers to
whom we refer, and no doubt they
will, another decade will see lower
Georgia among the most prosperous
parts of the great republic, if not
indeed the most prosperous of them
all. The towns that have already
felt the benefit of the increase in
population of the past ten years will
be made great and profitable by the
trade that will come from the fruit
ful fields and humming factories-
In the coming good times of in
creased population, increased busi
ness and increased prosperity the
native Georgians will have a large
share of the profit. It should be
their pleasure, therefore, to help the
movement along whenever it is pos
sible for them to do so. Many of
them are land-owners with acres
they would like to sell. The prices
of the lands should be kept within
reason; no fancy prices should be
charged. No doubt that there are a
great many instances in which a
merely nominal price put upon lands
for the purpose of attracting honest,
thrifty white settlers would be in
the nature of a good investment,
since well-tilled and profitable farms
inevitably increase values in their
community. Land-owners should
meet home-seekerB “half way” or a
little better. By doing so they will
serve their state and themselves at
the same time.
An Essay on Habit.
A story is fold of an English
school-master who offered a prize to
the boy who would write the best
composition in five minutes on“How
to Overcome Habit,”
At the expiration of five minutes
the compositions ’ were read. The
prize went to a lad of nine years.
The following is his essay:
“Well, sir, habit is hard to over
come. If you take off the first letter
it does not change ‘abit.’ If you
take off another, you still have a
‘bit’ left. If you take off another,
the whole of ‘it’ remains. If you
take off another, it is not wholly
used up; all of which goes to show
that if you want to get rid of a hab
it, you must throw it off altogeth
er.’’Christian Intelligencer.
Nuts For Boys to Crack.
Here is a list of questions for tho
wide-awake boy:
You can see any day a white horse,
but did you ever see a white colt?
How many different kinds of trees
grow in your neighborhood, and
what are they good for? Why does
a horse eat grass backward and
cow forward? Why does a hop vine
grow ohe way, a bean vine tho oth
er? Where Bhould a chimney be the
larger, at the top or at the bottom,
and why? Can you tell why a horse
when tethered with a rope always
unravels it while a cow always twists
it into a kinky knot? How old must
a grape vine be before it begins to
bear? Can you tell why leaves turn
upside down just before a rain?
What wood will bear the greatest
weight before breaking?
“The blood is the life.” Science
has never gone beyond that simple
statement of scripture. But it has
illuminated that scripture and given
it a meaning ever broadening with
the increasing breadth of knowl
edge. When the blood is “bad” or
impure it is not only the body which
suffers through disease. The brain
is also clouded, the mind and judg
ment are affected, and many an evil
deed or impure thought may be di
rectly traced to the impurity of the
blood. No one can be well balanced
in mind and body whose blood is
impure. No one can have a whole
some and pure life unless the blood
is pure. Foul blood can be made
pure by the use of Dr. Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery. When
the blood is pure, body and brain
are alike healthy and life becomes a
daily happiness.

One hundred years ago, or to be
exact, on March 16, 1802, congress
approved the bill to establish the

West Point. The academy began
its career with five officers and ten
cadets. In the relatively sport space
of time that has intervened, West
Point has become one of the fore
most military schools in the world.
The number qf graduates turned
out by the Academy since its inau
guration is about 4,100. A centen
